Info - Rear Stationary Glass Replacement Tips

Subject:Rear Stationary Glass Replacement Tips

Models:2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo



When this vehicle was produced, a lubricant was applied to the body surrounding the rear stationary glass. Whenever you replace the rear stationary glass, follow these steps to ensure proper adhesion of the urethane.

Important: Contamination of either the urethane path, or the glass prime path, with the plant-applied lubricant (or GM Synthetic Lubricant with Teflon, P/N 12371287 [in Canada, P/N 10953437]) will result in unwanted wind noise and/or a water leak.

  1. Remove the "J" lace from the rear stationary glass.
  2. Clean the body cavity surrounding the rear glass with Acrysol (denatured alcohol).
  3. Remove the glass from the vehicle.
  4. Important: Ensure that no remaining lubricant is dragged onto the urethane surface in the next step.

  5. Clean the urethane surface with Acrysol (denatured alcohol).
  6. Before the glass is reinstalled, apply GM Synthetic Lubricant with Teflon (P/N 12371287 [in Canada, P/N 10953437]), to the opening where the "J" lace will make contact with the body.
  7. Important: Do not allow lubricant to contaminate the exposed body urethane surface. Clean with Acrysol (denatured alcohol) should contamination occur.

  8. Reinstall the glass.
  9. Clean the opening of any lubricant with Acrysol (denatured alcohol).
